Norfolk Southern GP40-2 - MASSIVE Leslie RS3L

January 21, 2008: Turn it up! NS GP40-2 3039 leads H47 and NS GP38-2 5662 brings up the rear. That horn is MASSIVE! Absolutely one of my favorites. In comparison, this sounds like the S-5T RRO on the 3430. ENJOY!
Also, that evening at Wernersville Station H31 had a NS High Hood GP50 7056 with a great P3 horn leading and NS High Hood GP38-2 5171 pushing. Enjoy!

Thats one of those awful horns a lot of the Conrail units had. Luckily CSX has gotten rid of most of them, that one is way out of balance, only 1 of the bells is really working right

[o00o00ozy]

CSX units have Krap5LA's, they are junk. There is no diversity in the horns on CSX locomotives whatsoever. Leslie horns are the best. K5HL's are junk too, they gurgle. K3L are great, K3LA is good when tuned properly. But nothing beats a Leslie horn.

u may have been a little too close to the tracks....because i cant hear all the bells sounding here

[o00o00ozy]

It's a double crossing. The RCT&HS tracks are about 50 feet behind me.

[tipdrip215]

i meant the bells from the horn sry but yeah idk if it is because it is so loud that the camera isnt picking up the third bell but i couldnt hear all 3

[o00o00ozy]

Oh, okay. I know what you mean, I noticed that as well. I think it is tuned so loudly the 2 larger bells are drowning out the smaller.

[NsRailfan083]

EMD at its best! Go NS!

[trainzrok]

its a Nathan P3

[railfankasey]

@o00o00ozy iagree and disagree, when tuned properly the older horns on csx like on surviving emds and older ges, they have great K5LAs and K5HR24s but other then that i agree

[SouthShoreTrain]

I've never heard a freight with the same horn the South Shore passengers have! Nice catch

[legsbluetrain]

There is a double crossing on Missouri Street here in Pine Bluff,AR.All 3 tracks are UP.

[legsbluetrain]

@troy12n no Nathan can beat a Leslie

[legsbluetrain]

@o00o00ozy that's the sound that GEVO K5HL horns make,but I heard a K5HL on a 70ACe,didn't gurgle,loud and sounded good.

[hawleywe]

@o00o00ozy I dunno, those K5LLA's on the GEVO's sound Badass!

[ConrailJon]

@HarveyHenkelmann False!

[trainguy2020]

If I ever hear that you hate on k5 horns again, you will be stopped. The k5LA is a good sounding horn. So if you don't like the k5 series, you will just have to get over it. How dare you say the k5LA and the k5HL are junk. If you ever say that again, I will blast a k5LA so I can lure you into a trap! mwahahahahaha!

[storm24awesome]

man i hate those leslie RS3L
